A company is implementing a new radar system from July to September. The project manager knows these
months are the peak hurricane season for this region. Which of the following should the project manager
develop to mitigate the risk to the project?
Correct Answer: B
A contingency plan is a risk mitigation strategy that involves preparing alternative courses of action in case the
original plan fails or encounters unexpected problems. A contingency plan can help reduce the impact of
negative risks and ensure the project continuity and success. In this case, the project manager should develop a
contingency plan to mitigate the risk of hurricanes affecting the implementation of the new radar system. For
example, the contingency plan could include backup resources, alternative locations, emergency procedures,
and communication channels in case of a hurricane. References = CompTIA Project+ Study Guide: Exam
